a Philadelphia paper calls attention
to this distinction between the old and
the new south. When President Cleve-
land was down there it was the new
south. When JEFF Davis begins to
stir about it is the old, old south again.
A contemporary says, There is a
man up IN our country who always pays
for bis paper in advance. He has new
er had sick day in his life; never had
any corns or toothache; his potatoes
never rot; the weevll never eats his
wheat; the frost never kills his corn or

leafed clovers and is still unmarried.
A Topeka girl found out how to make
bread and is now the mother of more

bringing up. Wichita girls couple per-
severance and knowledge with discre-
ton and go through life happily.

envy of Science, says that next year we
will have an abundance of rain.
Farmers should not fail to wrap up
their fruit trees to protect them from

The voice of wisdom from the Pea

AN acre will produce on an average ten

A smoker in Atkinson makes this
melancholy confession through the col
umns of the Patriot II believe |
smoke on an aggregate, twelve cigars a
day, which cost me 81 cents each, or
one dollar every twenty-four hours. If
my wife would indulge in any such ex-
travigance, would certainly protest.

The Topeka Capital says: "The
eternal and ineradicably distinction of
sex is one reason why women, in rep
resentative government, should be d.
rectiy represented. If lawyers alone
cannot safely legislate for farmers if
white men alone cannot do justice to
the negro if every well-defned class
OF societyiS entitled to its own authorl-
tive expression through the ballot,sure-
ly women, who are the wives and sis
tiers and mothers, should give express
sion TO the domestic interest from the
feminine point of view. If black
smith cannot fairly represent a physi-
clan, how much less can d man repres-
ext woman.
